Box A: L=10 W=4 H=16 Box B: L 8 W=2 H=10
Which box gives you more cereal for your money? First, solve for the volume of each box of cereal. FORMULA SHEET Second, find the UNIT PRICE for each box. PRICE/Cubic Inch. DO NOT ROUND. WRITE OUT ALL OF THE DECIMALS. Third, compare the prices. Which box of cereal is cheaper per cubic inch?
Volume Box A: ?
Volume of Box B:?
Box A Price Per Cubic Unit: ?
Box B Price Per Cubic Unit: ?
Which box is cheaper per cubic unit? Type A or B
Volume of Box A: 10 x 4 x 16 = 640 cubic inches
Volume of Box B: 8 x 2 x 10 = 160 cubic inches
Box A Price Per Cubic Unit: Cost of Box A / Volume of Box A = Cost of Box A / 640
Box B Price Per Cubic Unit: Cost of Box B / Volume of Box B = Cost of Box B / 160
To determine which box is cheaper per cubic unit, we would need to know the cost of each box of cereal. Once the prices are provided, you can calculate the cost per cubic unit for both Box A and Box B using the formulas above and compare the results. The box with the lower price per cubic unit would be the cheaper option.
